AgilePDX Pub Lunch: How can we help teams recover after big changes?

## After the Shakeup: Rebuilding Trust and Momentum

Organizations today seem to be in a constant state of change. Layoffs, reorganizations, leadership transitions, AI-driven shifts in work, changing priorities, mergers, and new ways of working. The reasons vary, but the impact is often similar.
Trust erodes.

Sometimes it's trust within a team. Sometimes it's trust between teams. Sometimes it's trust in leadership or in the organization itself. Momentum slows, uncertainty rises, and people are left figuring out how to move forward.
Research and experience both suggest that the effects of major organizational changes can linger far longer than expected. Even after the dust settles, teams may still be rebuilding confidence, relationships, and a sense of direction months later. Yet some organizations and teams seem to recover more quickly than others.

What helps? What gets in the way? And what role can Agile practitioners play in helping people navigate the uncertainty that follows significant change?
Join AgilePDX for an open discussion about rebuilding trust and restoring momentum after a shakeup.
Together, we'll explore questions like:

• What kinds of disruptions have had the biggest impact on your teams?
• What signs tell you trust has been damaged?
• What have you seen leaders, teams, or Agile practitioners do that helped rebuild trust?
• How do you create stability when everything around the team is changing?
• How do you restore momentum without ignoring the human side of change?
• What lessons have you learned from changes that went particularly well—or particularly poorly?

Most importantly, bring YOUR stories! Whether you're a Scrum Master, Agile Coach, developer, Product Owner, manager, marketer, or someone applying Agile principles in another context, your experiences can help others learn, reflect, and navigate similar challenges.

No presentations. No experts. Just practitioners sharing experiences, asking questions, and learning from one another. Grab your lunch and let's dive in!
